Professional weather radar
RadarScope is a specialized display utility for weather enthusiasts and meteorologists that allows you view NEXRAD Level 3 and Level 2 radar data along with tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine and snow squall warnings, and predicted storm tracks issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. It can display the latest reflectivity, velocity, dual-polarization, and other products from any NEXRAD or TDWR radar site in the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, Korea, and Okinawa, as well as data from Environment Canada, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Finnish Meteorological Institute, and German Weather Service radars. These aren't smoothed images, this is native radar data rendered in its original radial format for a high level of detail. 

Whether you are scanning reflectivity for a mesocyclone's tell-tale hook echo, trying to pinpoint the landfall of a hurricane's eye wall, or looking for small features like velocity couplets in the storm relative radial velocity product, RadarScope gives you the power to view true radial weather radar data.

RadarScope displays tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine, and snow squall warnings issued by the U.S. National Weather Service. You can browse the list of active warnings, select a warning to view the details, and even zoom to the selected warning on the map.

Pinch or stretch to zoom in and out. Drag your finger around the map to scroll. Tap the radar sweep button in the toolbar to switch radars. Select one of the 289 different radars in the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Korea, Puerto Rico, Guam, or Okinawa. Plot your current location by tapping the location button and optionally report it to the Spotter Network. Tap the play button to download and animate over recent images. Display the names of over 25,000 cities and towns on the map as you zoom and scroll. Tap and hold the color legend to see the data values. 

Meanwhile, RadarScope will retrieve and display updated data automatically and intelligently (approximately every 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the radar scan strategy). 

You can display radar data from our servers, NOAA's public access web site, or your Allison House subscriber account. Spotter Network members can report their location and view the locations of other spotters.

RadarScope Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription with two different tiers to choose from.

RadarScope Pro Tier One is an annual subscription that provides access to real-time animated lightning data and up to 30 frames of radar data, including extended loops of super-resolution data. Tier One subscribers can also access a data interrogation tool to quickly determine data values for specific radar pixels and an optional dual-pane mode for viewing two radar products side-by-side.

RadarScope Pro Tier Two is an annual or monthly subscription that combines all the features in Tier One with more advanced features, including 50-frame loops, SPC outlooks, special weather statements, mesoscale discussions, local storm reports, hail size and probability contours, and azimuthal shear contours in the U.S., a 30-day archive of all radar products, a 2-year archive of NEXRAD Level 3 radar products, a full historical archive of NEXRAD Level 2 products, and the ability to use subscription features across multiple platforms.

If you choose to buy the RadarScope Pro subscription, it will charged to your iTunes account. The subscription will be auto-renewed within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the same price you originally paid. Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal disabled via your iTunes Account Settings after the purchase. Once purchased, the subscription cannot be cancelled during the active subscription period.

Undecided

The radar loop is only 7 minutes. If that’s the case that’s stupid expensive for a 7 minute loop. I can’t figure out how to lengthen it. Help would be appreciated.

Great

Great app but if you already own the iPhone app you should definitely be able to get the windows version for free via using an account

If you want radar, this is the app you need

Excellent app for everything radar. I subscribe to Pro Tier 1 annually, and have upgraded to a monthly Pro Tier 2 subscription for peak tornado season where I live, then will probably drop back to Tier 1 again. With Tier 2, it's really neat to have the same sort of information that the weatherfolk talk about on TV, like storms cells tagged with TVS (Tornado Vortex Signature), along with directional information, etc. I have the app on my iPhone and Mac, and cast the screen of the latter to a spare TV that has Google cast capabilities. It's a good way to interest kids in science and get them off social media for a bit.

Friendly but powerful.

Good for novice or expert. I’m not an expert. I miss the lightning data but current poordom prevents pro tier. Great overall radar app I’ve used for maybe 10 years. Long long time. ⚡️🌩️🌪️👍🏻

Love it

Definitely like the app works well. Only thing is wish the app was free to download and then buy subscriptions. Also wish we got road name in the basic subscription

Locking old features behind a paywall

Pretty sick of you guys to do that. You used to be able to se more frames of weather, as well as watches and special weather statements. Now you have to pay $10/year for some of those. If you want the rest, it’s $15/year.

Cool App but cost too much

Huge downside, you have to pay for the app, AND pay a subscription. Wish I would have know before I purchased it.
